Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 07, 1987
Transcript:
Calvin: Mom, was I adopted? Mom: No, why do you ask? Calvin: Are you planning to put me to work in a cannery for 14 hours a day when I turn seven? Mom: Of course not! Calvin: You're not just fattening me up to eat me, are you? Mom: Good heavens, Calvin! Who put all these rediculous ideas in your head?!? Calvin: That right. "Rediculous ideas" she called them. Hobbes: Oh, sure, you think your mom's going to tell you?
There was a lot of controversy over this when people were offended that adoption was classified with the things in panels 2 and 3.
